I knew Miriam from the bank. She often inspired me with her positive attitude. I came to know her sister and Mom, and later on her husband and son. I am sorry to hear of her death. She always had a wave and a smile no matter what. My sincerest condolences to her family, you're in my thoughts and prayers.

Mel, I met you and Miriam this summer when she came for Physical Therapy. She truly was a remarkable woman. She remained positive and had a beautiful outlook on life. I will miss her. My prayers to you and your son.
